There was an article in our local paper - "The Press" (Atlantic City) that said New Jersey was the cheapest in the country - $2.78 per gallon (I paid 2.75 the other day). They said it was due to low state tax on gas. But why should one state be $4.00 and another $2.78? If it's tax, then your local government is screwing you. If it's not tax, then some rich bastards are getting richer. Funny that NJ and Oregon are the only two states that don't have self-serve gas.
